Most satisfactory result. Some superb back play, Smith looking the part and the rest of the back line really seemed to be gelling. Care throwing the intercept was the only real mindless stuff, we just seemed much more sensible this week.

Given the injury situation that was a very good win as we went on to the field with an excellent attitude against a Sale dude high on confidence.Pressure now off for a bit.It was a must win game and we won!Well done to all including JK !

Great game last night but there's a little bit of me that feels Sale flattered us a bit. That's not to take anything away from the team, there were passages of absolute brilliance. BUT we STILL suffer from multiple brain-farts that give the oppo possession, luzz the ball about like the Harlem Globetrotters with limited success and our tackling is still patchy in places. It feels that the squad are really gelling now, but other teams - top 4 teams - would have put that game well and truly to bed by 50 minutes, yet we always seemed to look *this* close to letting it unravel. Nice work lads, but let's build on that and improve now.

Last word on Visser - nice to see him playing his usual brand of rugby. I know it's only fair that the incumbent should keep the shirt, but Visser proved last night that he really is miles ahead of Walker.
